    Lets talk ZNA 30

    You realize that doing this voids the warranty yes? I've had to send mine back a couple times now and it hasn't cost me a dime but if your board fries for whatever reason and they open it up and see the spacer missing or filed down, it's not going to be repaired for free. It's worth getting the...

    New member, old vaper, having issues with Aspire Nautilus

    For those getting dry hits whats been working for me is to loosen the drip tip nut at the top of the tank maybe an eighth or quarter turn before screwing in the whole thing. So, back off the dt nut then hold the tank and the nut stable while you screw down your tank. Works every time for me. It...

    Chybrid iHybrid Clone tip for 18650

    Just wanted to throw this out there. The iHybrid clone one might find on Fasttech only takes 18350 batteries but if you have a VamoV2 ( I can't comment on the other Vamos) then you have the bottom extension piece that the cap screws on to. That extension screws right into the bottom of the...

    Best mechanical mods - advice pls?

    My go-to is a 1 ohm RBA on a mech. As a rule though, it burns the juice. Before you all get up in arms and tell me I must have a hot leg or a short, it's not frying the liquid like a hot leg does, it's just too harsh for decent flavor. Some juices can handle it, some can't. Vanilla Custard on a...

    Pro tank taste

    $20 isn't a lot for a tank. It looks nice, but the flavor is bland. I have the same juice from the same bottle in an evod with the same type head as the pro tank and the evod tastes better. I barely can taste the juice in the pro tank. I suspect, that it has something to do with the design. I'm...

    Mind is blown at Local B&M prices

    The biggest reason NOT to do online as well is supporting it. Dealing with shipping, packaging and god forbid, returns is an entire other dedication. I have no desire to enter that nightmare any time soon, myself.

    Mind is blown at Local B&M prices

    I run a shop as well and I mark my prices $3 over the average online price on an item. I basically match online *with* shipping prices. Of course, any vendor could sell for way less but B&M shops have so much overhead, it's almost not worth doing. I'll point out that the average CE4 clearo can...

    Bolt Mod not working

    I've posted this elsewhere, but bolts have crummy wires in them. Fortunately, it's an easy matter to fix them. Get needle nose pliers and pull out the center pin..if you're lucky, it will pull the entire white plug with it. If not, move the wire and the center pin (that you pulled out) to the...

    DID/CHID Custom Atomizer

    So, out of boredom, I created an atomizer out of my old DID clone. I basically removed the center tube and the chrome tank altogether. Then, using epoxy and stainless steel dowels, drilled through the top deck piece and the bottom deck (the part with the 510 connector on it) twice - once through...

    Firing problem with Sigelei Zmax V2.0

    I just got one from someone locally and am having the same problem. Not so much the lip shock thing but it will shock/burn my hand where the cap meets the body. And half the time it doesn't want to fire 100% of the time. Like it fires at 25% power, then a second later, fires at 100% then the...

    Weird Zmax V2

    I just got a Zmax V1 used, and at the junction of where the cap meets the body, it will shock and, presumably, burn you if you let it stay there like that long enough. I've only made it do it when I was testing high wattage on a 3 ohm coil. At first I thought it was my imagination, but nope...

    Everything tastes burned

    Sounds like you don't care for fiddly mods and accessories. My suggestion is to try an Ego Twist, adjustable from 3.2 to 4.8 volts and a low resistance clearomizer, something around 1.8-2 ohms. There are many voltage/ohm combinations that equal the same wattage output but *how* you get to that...

    Lake City - Live Oak Anyone?

    OMG Gas station ecigs are generally pretty wretched. There are better places to get supplies! Glad to know there are more vapers in the area than I was aware of.

    #500 SS Mesh

    I've been a little disenchanted with 1 ohm vaping lately. Normally, I'd do a 2/3 of 28. This is my go-to setup and haven't ventured too far outside that area. After seeing this post, I made a 7/8 wrap of 28, with worry that it would produce too little vapor for my monsterous air-hole but I can...

    Ego-T 900 MAH Voltage issue

    So I just received 20, 900mah ego-t batteries and right off the bat I felt that it wasn't pushing the usual voltage. I metered it at 3.2,3.3 volts. Clearly too low for a fully charged battery. So I tested 3 more and the results were the same. Anyone experience this? I will add that I've bought...

    Will a genesis stile tank kill my ego battery?

    Here's the thing about genny's on egos : As long as the ohms of the coil isn't too low, it will work fine. I run a phoenix and a chid on egos all the time at around 1.7 ohms. I did try a 1.0 ohm AGA on an ego and blew the ego. What I think happens on some of them, although I can't confirm it, is...

    Tight budget mods

    The Bolt is a foolproof solid mod. Get it in Chrome/Polished with the extension and you have an awesome, basic mod and it's only $37 most places. You can't go wrong.

    Sweeten DIY E-juice never taste like store bought

    I'm been doing DIY for a little while now and while no expert, I can share my experiences with sweetening flavors. Firstly, I'll mention that I haven't found a sugar equivalent and what I mean by that is, for instance, iced tea or cereals that taste horrible or super bland until you add sugar -...
